I create figurative–abstract imagery through a personal visual language, working across drawing, painting, and ceramic sculpture to articulate emotions, thoughts, and reflections shaped by lived experience. My studio practice evolves through sustained material experimentation, particularly through an ongoing investigation into the relationship between painting and ceramics. 

​

Through this process, I depict scenes and objects in figurative-abstract forms that function both as visual elements and as carriers of subjective memory and feeling. Central to my work is an inquiry into self-understanding—one continuously shaped by the surrounding world and by my experience as a Korean woman living in the United States. As my environment and life circumstances shift, so too do my perspectives, values, and emotional priorities, and these transitions become embedded in the forms and spaces I create. 

​

My work investigates the construction of a cohesive environment between three-dimensional ceramic sculptures and two-dimensional paintings. I explore how these distinct modes of making—each governed by its own material logic—can enter into a harmonic dialogue within a shared space. Ambiguous abstraction within the paintings, when situated in relation to the ceramic forms, invites viewers to contemplate layered emotional associations and expands the interpretive possibilities of the sculptural elements.
